Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
4:7-8 This quotation from Ps 32:1-2 follows the Jewish custom of supporting a reference to the Law with a reference in the Prophets or the Writings. Paul also uses a Jewish exegetical technique of linking unrelated quotations with a key word. Here, record . . . has cleared translates the same Greek word as “counted” in Rom 4:3.

μακάριος ἀνὴρ, οὗ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν
blessed_‹is› /the/_man ˱of˲_whom by_no_means not /may/_reckon /the/_Lord sin
The end of this verse is the end of a quotation from Psalm 31:1–2. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this with a closing quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the end of a quotation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
μακάριος ἀνὴρ, οὗ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται Κύριος ἁμαρτίαν
blessed_‹is› /the/_man ˱of˲_whom by_no_means not /may/_reckon /the/_Lord sin
This verse means the same thing as the two clauses in the previous verse. Paul says the same thing here in a slightly different way to emphasize how Blessed people are whom God forgives for their sins. Use a natural way in your language to express this emphasis. Alternate translation: “How truly blessed is a man whose sin the Lord does certainly not count!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ἀνὴρ
/the/_man
Paul quotes David speaking of people in general, not of one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: “a person”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἁμαρτίαν
sin
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sin, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “sinful deeds”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐ μὴ λογίσηται
by_no_means not /may/_reckon
Paul quotes David using count to refer to God remembering or regarding people’s sins after he has forgiven them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “does certainly not regard”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐ μὴ
by_no_means not
The phrase certainly not translates two negative words in Greek. Paul quotes David using them together to emphasize how certain it is that God does not regard people’s sin after he has forgiven them. Use a natural way in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “never”
